Default Pics of aftermarket head units please? more...

I have seen 1 TT locally that had an in-dash tv. It was cool and worked well but it doesn't fit that well. A retainer was needed to be used and it looked trashy. U could see screw heads to the sides of the unit. Any1 have a good, clean, setup and what is it?

Default Here's my current setup..

in my GTI. It's an in-dash Clarion VRX935VD unit with DVD player, Sirius satellite radio, reads MP3 CD-ROMs and you can also add a TV tuner. The screen opens and closes automatically, and the lower part of the faceplate can be removed for security.

Here's the LCD open:

Closed:

and a close-up:

You can also <a href="http://hitechgti.50megs.com/golf.html">go to my homepage</a> to see a short video of the screen opening and closing, towards the bottom of the page ;-)

Default that would be illegal in TX....

...just passed a law against having a video screen visible to the driver in a motor vehicle.

Default Re: Here's my current setup..

Clean! And the GTi I setup so that the screen doesn't block the AC vents like on most vehicles.

Default how far does that come away from the headunit?

I looked at the Pioneer touch screen unit but I have to make sure when it goes up it does not touch the vents.

Default You may be confusing video "screen" with video *signal*...

It is indeed illegal to have a video *signal* (i.e. a movie, TV etc) in most states. As a matter of fact, if the car is started while the screen is open, a nice text is displayed stating that "It is illegal to display a video signal in such a manner that the driver has a direct line of sight to the screen" or something similar.

Of course, you're *supposed* to connect a wire from the head unit's "brain box" to the handbrake so that the DVD's (and TV signals I'm assuming) only display when the handbrake is up. BUT there's always a way to go around that.. simple electronics ;-)
